Asked By:tinaguillemette in Ontario, CA

I had a BR done 3 weeks ago with a nipple graft. I saw my PS 2 days post op and he said that the strips will start coming off very soon. Well its 3 weeks post and not one has come off. Is this normal? I have no signs of infection and everything seems to be healing very well. Some spots the wound looks healed right over. Should I try and take them off? They show NO signs of peeling right now.
